Many of you may have read my first post on business cards a couple of weeks ago, where I got my business cards through which I thoguht were great untill I noticed instead of childrens handprints it was dog paw prints.

Well I orderd some more, and after making a mistake firstime surely im gongi to double check everything, i wouldnt make another muck up would I?

Well yup I did :crying: :crying: I cant believe it im so angry with myself for being such an idiot.

This time the picture was correct, the colour was as I wanted it, and there was no spelling mistakes, well kinda it was all good untill the last line, my post code, I went and put my mums in instead of mine :censored: :censored:

If I cant do a simple thing like order some business cards what am I going to be like with all the paperwork :panic: :panic:

Someone please punch me in the face

Well from a safeguarding point of view, I did not put anything to do with my address on my cards.

So it might be a handy 'diversion' as long as your mum doesn't live half the country away ???

And anyhow, most people are going to be using the cards for your phone number :blush: :blush: .

Geez Aly when I said I wanted a punch was meaning more of a slap, that hurt.

Wish it was bad luck emler I could take that but its not its just pure stupidity on my part, I was at my mums on her comp when i orderd them but thats no exscuse.

Yeah Peppa lets hope it is 3rd time lucky, if I suddenly dissapear for a couple of days you know ive messed up again and jumped in the local river (I cant swim).

I wasnt going to put my address on the cards zoomie, I just thought they looked so empty and wasnt sure what else to put on them, and your right I expect people to contact me over phone not post, but I nkow its wrong so will bug me to much to give out. My mums post code is similar to mine only last 2 letters differ.

Anyway I'm sure some of you amazing ladies can coem up with a good craft idea for me to do using 500+ business cards :D well i hope so anyway lol

Who would notice a postcode? Parents ring phone numbers. I would use these ones up first
